Just read memoirs about him. The Young Hitler I Knew (some excerpts here) is particularly good, written by his friend who lived with him for a long time. Hitler continued sending birthday presents and such to his family while in power.

Pretty much all of them paint a very similar picture of him except for the one written by Otto Strasser which was intentionally meant to be disparaging.

I'm actually reading Hitler and I right now. Strasser actually goes as far to claim that Hitler was never shot during the Beer Hall Putsch, providing just his word.

Otto Strasser barely escaped Hitler while his brother was murdered. It would be difficult for him to remain neutral.
